I wrote the Teddy Wilson review that compared his music to Henry James. My excuse is that it was written late at night, and I just had to write something on this great set. After listening to most of the set one night, I felt I just had to write about the passion that was in the music, and, by chance, I was reading a ton of Henry James at the time. So, viola! the comparison came about. If I had it to do over, I feel I could write something much better. I believe that Lon wrote the review about "The Ordered Universe of Teddy Wilson" that also appears. Beware that late night urges to write a Mosaic review.

This item is gone. Thank you for your interest. Matthew

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. This is one of the most relaxingly intense albums I've heard, and I play it all the time, whatever mood, it helps get me through the day. Flamin' Groovies: Shake Some Action I've had this record since it first came out in 1976, and when I play it, so many memories flood into my mind, that it seems my life is flashing in front of me.

How about the re-issue lp's that are out. Is the sound for those an improvement over the cd versions? I, also, would like to convert my Mile's to lp.

I'm sure Ashcroft would also love to know my number...

What I love most about this album, is that Armstrong is dealing with an artist who is truly his equal: W.C. Handy. Yes, Armstrong is playing great on this record, but the more I listen to it, the more I'm drawn into the world that Handy created in his songs. It a world of joy, love, hatred, death, and everything in between. Where a person's life is so precarious, that he/she needs live life now! because it can be gone in a minute. For Handy, real life is not with the "officially good people", but with those who know how to enjoy life, and take advantage of that golden moment where life is truly a joy -- where friends gather to celebrate this gift of being alive; where they gather to hear the blues being played from the heart. So, here's to the world of W.C. Handy and the Kingdom of the Blues.

It sounds like the Pistons took "The Best Record in the East" too seriously. The reality was that 1-8 were fairly equal in quality. The Pistons just ran into a Net team that got really HOT at the right time. Doubt that Larry Brown could improve them at all, the Pistons just don't seem to have the players that will respond to Brownie running them down in the press constantly.

I'd stay here. I'm sure that Musicboy, with his great industry connections, will be one of the Mods on the BNBB.

Got How the West was Won today, and as was said before, it is a totally killer cd. Great sound, and Jimmy Page plays like a true guitar god on this one. Fantastic buy at $19.00 for three cd's (Verve, take note!). Only thing missing was the old 1960's lp admonition "For best sound PLAY LOUD!" Rock on forever Led Zeppelin.

Do you remember when Kirk defeated that insane computer on Star Trek using essentially the same method...? It's nice to know I finally made my mark. PS: I still can't do it though.

Infinity + 1 SUGAR!

Man, I must be listening to too much Led Zeppelin!

I hope I have it??

Jackie MacLean's "Soft Blue". I play that at least six times in a row when I have the Mosiac playing.

well... I'm getting closer

1, 2, 3... B) Mathew, the problem most of us have is NOT "quoting within the quote"! Anyway, all you do is "quote" an entire post by hitting the quote link in that post. Then neglect to delete anything, and there you have it! What "it" is, we're not sure. 1, 2, 3... B) Do I dare... 4th

Best all-time Los Angeles bands. 1. The Byrds 2. The Doors 3. X 4. Love Just thought you'd like to know. PS: How could I forget The Knack!

Do you quote within a quote?? You know, those multi-box quotes. I must be stupid because this has become one of the great mysteries of life for me. Please enlighten me!

Led Zeppelin on a human scale? That's the second sacrilege that has now appeared in this thread!

Zep II, of course. Every hardrock lick you've heard for the past thirty years can be found there. Bring it on home, indeed! THE MIGHTY ZEP RULES DUDE!! B)
